An effective Hamiltonian for a non-rotating diatomic molecule containing only crystal-field and spin-orbit operators has been set up to describe the energies of the five spin-orbit components that arise in the ground electronic configuration of the nickel monohalides. The model assumes that bonding in the nickel halides has the approximate form Ni+X-, with an electronic 3d9 configuration plus closed shells on the Ni+ moiety and a closed shell configuration on the X&- moiety. Least-squares fits of the observed five spin-orbit components of the three lowest electronic states in NiF and NiCl are then carried out in terms of the three crystal field parameters C0, C2, C4 and the spin-orbit coupling constant A. Following this, the usual effective Hamiltonian B(J-L-S)^2 for a rotating diatomic molecule is used to derive expressions for the unusually large Ω-type doubling parameter p in the two Ω = 1/2 states in the 3d9 manifold. These expressions show (for certain sign conventions) that the sum of the two p values should be -2B, but that their difference can vary between -10B and +10B. The theoretical magnitudes for p are in good agreement with the two observed p values for both NiF and NiCl, but the signs are not. The experimental signs can be brought into agreement with the theoretical signs by a fairly massive change in +/- parity assignments in the NiF and NiCl literature. The last part of the talk will focus on the theoretical and experimental implications of these parity changes.
